Michael Owen is out of the World Cup and flying back to England after rupturing his anterior cruciate knee ligament in the 2-2 draw with Sweden.

A scan on Wednesday confirmed the worst fears about Owen's injury following his dramatic collapse early in the match.*lips quivers

When I saw him go down I went "Oh sh*t!" You could actually see his keecap going "ploink!" and his leg going turning into jelly.... It was awful. I'm sorry. :(

Cole is playing insanely well, though. :)

Yeah you could *lol* And they kept on showing it over and over in replays. I was like, I don't need to see it anymore! Poor Michael.

Cole is playing well. That's the thing about our midfielders, they do score goals. I think that could be our only hope now that the only strikers we have in the whole squad are the still recovering Rooney, Crouch and the teenager.

Good game on tonight! Argentina versus Holland.

[selkie63]

I hope he recovers. I'm sad it's obvious he's out of this cup... :(

Crouch is... weird... lol

Argentina versus Holland... Hmmm, I don't need to tell you I'm rooting for Holland... ;)

[cykie]

Crouch is very tall and lanky *lol* Not the usual type of striker.

I want Holland to win as well! Can't stand Argentina. Although, it gets complicated because, if England beat Ecuador and Holland and Argentina both win their next game, England play whoever comes 2nd tonight. Not sure who I'd rather face......Probably Holland.

See these are reasons why this year I'm totally avoiding getting wrapped up in the World Cup...I tend to get myself so stressed out I can't focus on anything. So...no more! I will just read scores and hear it through friends like you...*giggle*

[cykie]

Oh it is stressful. I was getting stressed last night about a game England didn't even need to win! They say sport is good for your health, football seriously isn't.

It can't be good for my health..no way..I mean when I think about it...after the last World Cup I got myself all worked up over, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure! Granted the doctors wouldn't accept The World Cup as the reason for it...they still to this day insist it is hereditary...I think differently!

[cykie]

I think it was the World Cup *lol* My Mum uses her high blood pressure as an excuse not to watch penalties.

It's impossible NOT to get into the World Cup when you live in England. You can't get away from it.
